Request-- scan of modified COP gun from the BR Sketchbook

At least I think that's where I remember seeing it, in drawing form. The production was probably out of money, and never built this prop the way it should have for the film.
Now that the COP .357 Marushin is available in black plastic (saw it on jfuste's excellent site), I think I'll try to make a replica of the cool version of the prop out of one, but I need some high rez images.
Then of course, once I have it figured out, the next step will be to have my friendly local gun dealer watch for a real .357 COP on the cheap, and take a hacksaw to it!

Thank you!

Are you talking about this one?
You could buy it here:

It's for sale unpainted and unmounted.

The space art one is the Sidkit one. The Sidkit site is down now, and nobody knows where Sid is.
I have the sketchbook and the images themselves are not "High Res". They are pretty faded and even a bit blurry. I can see if I can isolate the page for you. You may also want to check out the br2019.com website for downloads of the pictures from the sketchbook.

The price is up there on this... something like 95 Euros? Assuming they actually have them. I was aware sid Sid seems to have vanished, but I didn't know this was his kit.
Actually, I was about to contact these guys and ask if there was any way to buy just the grip. Since Sid is now Out There Somewhere, looks like I'm going to have to sculpt one. Also, I've decided to bag looking for a real .357 COP to chop up. Just checked gunbroker.com, and one of these is currently listed at $950. No way.
This means the black Marushin 8mm version of the above for about $70 is the way to go. It should be hacksawable...
TIA for any production drawings you can find!

Hey Doc, if you have to saw a real COP 357 and assemble with SpaceArt grip, I think will be cheaper to buy complete set from them! I have it, and is very neat.
The Marushin COP357 could be found at RedWolf site. Silver one is out of stock for now, only large canon available (for a while).
Check it:
